And what does that prove? Yes, they're concerned (at the present) with Green energy. That does not mean that France lacks power--as in military power. France has a very capable military and often performs its own military activities in West Africa and beyond. When you can afford to be pious at...

Yes and that makes France formidable, but they have more immediate concerns south of them in Africa. They're not going to be so intent on trying to challenge Russia when they desperately need to stretch their economic sphere into West Africa. From resources such as oil to consumers to other...

Entirely? No, we'll have multiple interests elsewhere. Right now however, our primary threat is in China, though much of it is in smoke and mirrors. The truth is that the Chinese are heavily dependent upon the US global system. As it evaporates, so does a great deal of China's power. They still...

Bacle is correct, actually. We have been moving towards a multi-polar world for decades. The 90s and 00s were probably the height of American global dominance for this century. The United States is not interested in ruling the world and the remaining powers that be are incapable of doing so...

For my part, I don't think Biden will allow the military to engage in any meaningful activity. He might try to inflict some pain on the Russians, but that's about it. Prepare for US Military Withdrawal 2; Russian Boogaloo.
